Neighbourhood... the rate they are growing it would be better to name them city status.

Locking the stable door after the horse has bolted? Too late. The deal has been done. The brown envelopes have been distributed, opened and the contents moved offshore. Neighbourhood, parish, are, whatever you want to call it, you have no say in what happens in it. They will consult you and then ignore you. It's called democracy.Sdapeze

I thought 'Myland' already had a 'neighbourhood plan' and that local residents (including myself) had contributed to it via both resident's consultation meetings and open days? But nobody seems to be taking too much notice of that. Why does 'Mile End' and 'Braiswick' now need any separate sub-plans?

What has happened to all the proposals intended to "return Mill Road and Severalls Lane back to country roads"?

Opening the new A12 junction (near WHCS) before building the Northern Approach Road extension has simply made Myland and Highwoods a rat run instead of providing the promised desirable relief.

The fact is that North Colchester must absorb a huge number of houses, but surely we must first get the local traffic infrastructure right. Some roads in North Colchester are already bursting with traffic, and that's before another 3,000 houses are constructed.

So will forming yet another new 'neighbourhood' consultation group have any greater beneficial impact that the last?

Colchester Borough and Essex County Council should simply get on with completing their existing traffic management plans. For example, why are there continuing delays regarding its extension and the proposed bus lanes (and park and ride) running alongside the Northern Approach Road? In 2003, I didn't buy a house in Hakewill Way as these plans were clearly revealed in the legal searches. So why are new objections emerging today?

Let's get on with stuff like this, before the rest of North Colchester chokes.

I think Sdapeze should re-post using his own name and list those who he alleges have received brown envelopes. We'd all love to know.
